Chapter 357: 357

Without any notice, a huge explosion occurred in the center of these gates. An aftershock erupted that destroyed nearly most of the gates and killed all the demons. 

Ibro looked in anger towards the place where that fiend was standing at, it was now completely in ruin. Ibro clenched his fists as he asked the system:

'Can I pass through the demon gates to the gate world?'

The system didn't believe his ears for a moment before it said:

'You know you are crazy, right? These gates aren't linked to the gate world; it's linked to a separate world that is known as the womb world. 

There, demons had established their system of replication to create endless demons and fiends. 

You can't go there, or else you will face the strongest fiend in this universe with endless numbers of high ranking demons.'

Ibro was immediately interested with what the system said, as he asked:

'Is this womb world connected to the gate world?'

'Sigh. This world is connected to all the worlds in this universe. It's like another universe that's connected to this one. You won't be able to come back easily if you went there. I advise you not to take this trip.'

Ibro smiled evilly as he said:

'I promise you that I won't take this trip… yet. Now, we need to figure out a way to go to the gate world.'

'Before that, I detected a source of material nearby.'

Ibro became interested in this, so he asked:

'Where?'

The system replied:

'In the place of the portal.'

Ibro looked towards the front where the portal to the key world, this portal seemed special so it might contain special materials. Ibro moved rapidly towards the portal place. 

There, he found a deep depression that had a radius of 1 kilometer. Ibro looked around for any remnants with no result.

'There is nothing here.'

'The portal is still there, but it's damaged. Its remnants are buried deeply in the ground.'

Ibro thought a bit about the system words, as he got an idea. He asked the system:

'Can this portal work?'

The system went silent for a moment before asking:

'What do you intend to do?'

'Nothing, I just want to take it as a souvenir.'

'Sigh.'

The system sighed again as it knew what Ibro intended to do. It then said:

'The core of the portal is damaged, if you want to reactivate it, you need another intact core. This core must have the coordinates of the world you want to connect to. 

So, in theory, you can fix it to go to the gate world, but practically it's impossible because you don't know the coordinates.'

Ibro smiled as he descended to the center of this depression. He put both of his hands on the ground as he instructed:

'Move it to my world.'

'Are you sure? You won't get anything from fixing it. it won't deliver you to the gate world.'

'Indeed, I don't know the coordinates of this world, but there are some people who might know.'

'…'

The system realized Ibro's intentions; he wanted to ask the locals here about the gate world coordinates. It might work, as NPCs here had already gone to that world. 

Ibro waited for ten minutes before his system managed to move this portal into his main world. After he finished doing so, he moved towards Maya. 

The devastation that emerged from the portal destruction was immense. Most of the skeletons he summoned were killed, but he didn't care. skeletons could be summoned again in greater numbers.

"Are you all right?"

Maya asked at once when he neared her. He took her in his embrace before whispering:

"Don't worry, your man isn't that soft to be hurt from a mere explosion."

Maya was relieved, she thought he would be depressed from losing his ticket to that gate world. Ibro then said to her:

"I want to find Bilarn, I need to ask something from him."

"I will relay a search order for him now."

Maya then relayed orders to her closest cultivators. Her net of cultivators was still spread all over the world, so in minutes they managed to find Bilarn and deliver Ibro's summon. 

In less than half an hour, Bilarn was standing in front of Ibro and Maya. He knelt before saying:

"I heard you want to see me, master."

Ibro waved for him to stand straight while saying:

"I want to know if there was someone who knows the exact coordinates of the gate world."

Bilarn was surprised by Ibro's request. Anyone would try to avoid the gate world as hard as they could, but his master was seeking to go there with all his efforts. That was strange, but he replied nonetheless:

"As far as I know, there is no one who knows the coordinates, but there is a heart of a teleportation portal that will be auctioned tomorrow."

Ibro suddenly froze, as these words resonated with something in his memory. He asked:

"Where will be this auction held?"

Bilarn didn't notice the changes on Ibro as he replied:

"It will be held at the legendary Dogar city. it's located overseas, and I have a VIP invitation to this auction."

Ibro smiled wryly, as he began to think of an issue. How did his system know about this event? How did it know about his need for a core for his teleportation portal? 

When Ibro thought about it, he felt strange. Why did he feel like the system knew about his future? As he recalled, the system was surprised by his decision to absorb this portal into his world. 

That made him more confused, was the system trying to deceive him? Or this system was different from the one which gave him his missions and divinations? 

Ibro didn't believe in foreseeing the future, but it seemed he had to believe in it now. Ibro sighed as he said:

"I want to buy this core, but I don't have any gold coins now."

Bilarn replied without hesitation:

"Don't worry master; I will amass enough money for you to secure this core."

Ibro felt weird to ask for money from his subject, but he didn't have any game currency at all. Ibro sighed while he agreed over Bilarn's suggestion. 

During their talk, Ibro noticed the appearance of many players who were watching the show from far. They moved in caution towards Ibro, but they were stopped by Maya's cultivators. Ibro looked towards Maya as he said:

"Let' them pass, just their leaders."

Maya nodded, she was also monitoring this group of players. She relayed her orders to her cultivators who selected three players to meet Ibro.
